“…A similar tendency has been identified in Norway, where older journalists with specialized cultural competences are replaced by a generation with broader journalistic skills adjusted to media convergence (Hovden and Knapskog 2008). Kristensen and From's (2012) studies of the Danish press over time demonstrate a broadening of the concept of culture, as boundaries blur between cultural journalism and lifestyle, and journalists take on a more "service-oriented" role to guide the reader through the complexities of cultural consumption. Whereas previous Swedish research on cultural journalism largely focuses on reviews (cf.…”

This article explores how nine Swedish cultural editors and managers in mainstream media institutions define cultural journalism and its political dimensions during times of increased digitization and media convergence. Swedish cultural journalism is aesthetic and political critique applied to subject areas (music, literature, etc.) and contemporary societal and ethical issues. Drawing on Zelizer we ask whether there is a common interpretive community of cultural journalists in different media regarding: (1) how they define their scope, (2) how they understand "the political" in cultural journalism and its implications for democracy, and (3) how they view media convergence and digitalization. We find that although editors/managers from different media share a basic understanding of cultural journalism as an alternative perspective to news, "the political" in cultural journalism is approached differently in the press and the public service broadcast media. Furthermore, due in part to structural conditions, they also see the effects of digitization differently, forming sub-communities on two counts. This study thus contributes new knowledge to a field previously focused almost exclusively on newspapers.

“…This journalism addresses audiences primarily as consumers, which leads to increasing interdependence of journalism and advertisers (cf. Kristensen and From 2012).…”

This article explores the cultural representation of Turkey as a travel destination for British tourists. Drawing on findings from a qualitative content analysis of 99 travel features published in three British broadsheet and three tabloid papers over a five-year period, we investigate the content and form of travel journalism as a journalistic genre dedicated to the representation of far-away places and the "Others" who live there. Looking at generic conventions and representations of Turkey at three levels-geography, landscape and culture, and the Turkish people-we found remarkable commonalities between broadsheet and tabloid travel journalism, although they have different institutional structures and cater to different audiences. Travel journalism as a practice is upbeat, positive, service-oriented and driven by market forces. The language is hyperbolic and flowery. In direct contrast with Turkey's negative framing in European political journalism, travel journalism frames the country positively: as a stunning, risk-free travel destination readers can dream about. Through the gatekeeping of travel journalists, Turkey is filtered, packaged and made consumable, allowing British readers to fantasise about an exotic and mysterious place with gorgeous beaches. Turkey also is presented as a country with an oriental and authentic flavour geographically "in" Europe, but different from Europe. The Turks are orientalised and introduced to the Western reader as Others. We argue that both the linguistic conventions and the representational politics of travel journalism are inclined to commodify countries with new practices of consumerism.

“…First, research on popular journalism challenges conceptions about the role of journalism in democracy. Studies of tabloid journalism (Dahlgren and Sparks 1992) or health, lifestyle and service journalism (Eide and Hernes 1987, Mølster 2009, Kristensen and From 2012) join in with a broad research tradition on popular media in discussing alternative ways of understanding the role of media in the public sphere. An important theoretical framework is public sphere theory (Habermas [1962, Calhoun 1992, which might indicate emphasis on media as providers of information and arenas for public deliberation.…”
